AIB man denies Gilmartin claims

RETIRED senior banker Eddie Kay yesterday rounded on businessman Tom Gilmartin for suggesting he was “suddenly moved” from AIB’s corporate banking division for exposing payments to lobbyist Frank Dunlop.

“It supports Mr Gilmartin’s conspiracy theories,” Mr Kay told the Mahon Tribunal on his third day of testimony. He said he could prove the developer was absolutely mistaken in his belief.

Mr Kay said he was incensed when he read what Mr Gilmartin had said about him; it was damaging to his reputation, gained over 40 years, and was untrue.
